Jen and Lisa - great job! I think the below
is another example of the league not having structures in place so when people
take off with ideas and get things moving they are sometimes inadvertently
'stepping-on-toes.' I feel like we charge forward and then fall back a
few steps because of the continued issue of who can make decisions or
decision-making
parameters. We are a league of strong folks with heaps of great ideas I
really believe we need to sit together and nut this stuff out so that people
aren't hurt, ideas killed and passion challenged.
Alex, I would love to work with you on the agenda
for the 5th. I’m out
bush until Tuesday so speak to you after that?
xo sew&sewps. congrats to the whitestar folks!!

Sorry if we stepped on any toes regarding picking dates - I thought you had
said we should just pick something to get a deadline out there. Training and
finance can change dates as they feel necessary. And in regards to the white
star, I had kind of meant they could take it any time until then, but didn't
realize thats just when you are getting back. So, yeah let us know what date
you'd like to be the final assessment for those who haven't yet taken it and
we'll amend that.
Thanks for all the feedback!

WAHOO! So great to see so
much of this stuff moving, awesome!
One thing re training for white star was that I thought it
would be good to let the people who need to resit/haven't sat yet
let us know when suits them to sit rather than set a date per
se.... Would it be possible to hold off submitting the names until
a few weeks later in Dec to give those people a chance to
resit/sit when they are ready? (But keep the strict deadline for
people who have already passed!!)
We will have to nut out which committee looks after which aspects
of the leagues on the planning day on 5th, as I think Gaynor and
Erin were looking after finances/membership and training committee
should really set times for trainings/white stars etc.
No worries at all about info zooming around now - just something
to discuss on 5th!
I am happy to volunteer to prepare agenda and facilitate the
meeting on the 5th - anyone else want to too?
Logo - we should make sure that Bethwish is in on design
discussions as she is great at this stuff (and she is back on dry
land in NZ now!!)
I prefer malicespringsrollerderby.com
for a web address.
Awesome news about the Skate Aust membership stuff too, I am happy
to join and be one of the 10 so we know that the league is able to
join as well. I think Skate Aust are changing their fees in 2011
(from discussion on the roller derby forum).
See you all next Thurs when back from bush!

Hi All,
The communications committee (currently Jen and
Lisa) met for the first time on Wednesday night so
here's an update on the website, white star
assessment, derby names and membership.
Website
- Domain name purchase. There are three
obvious options (in order of our preference):
malicespringsrollerderby.com,
malicesprinsgrdl.com
and msrdl.com.
If we are concerned about people not finding the
site we can always purchase more than one domain
name and redirect from there to the real site.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions or
what your preference is for this by Thursday 25th
November.
- Hosting options are still being considered
and will cost about $60-100 a year, if you have
any recommendations please send through; at this
stage it's looking like we'll be using Wordpress
as a CMS.
- Site build: Jen has done some awesome work
(Go Jen!!) starting a website build
(https://sites.google.com/site/malicespringsrdl/)
and we will continue working on this. Please take
a look and send through any suggestions, there's
still quite a bit of work to do getting content
together and finalising the structure but we're on
the way. With regards to content you'll notice
there is a featured "Derby girl" and we'll be
taking photos on Sunday 5th December at training
to use in this section. We'd also like to include
a short Bio, so start thinking about yours - it
doesn't need to be long and can include info like
derby name and number, length of time you've been
skating, achievements to date, why you Derby, brag
about your skates. Have a look at some on the Rocky
Mountain Roller Girls site to see what
they've done. We'd like to collect these on 5th
December as well.
For those of you who couln't make it to our derby
watching session at Annie's the date for the big
get together planning day has been set as Sunday
5th December from midday until it's time to start
training. Location yet to be specified so
suggestions are welcome if someone has plenty of
space at their house :)
White Star
Assessment
- For all those who would like to sit their
white star assessment (or sit it again) before the
end of the year the last assessment session for
2010 will be Sunday 28th November. There are four
more training sessions to take advantage of
between now and then so get your skates on! The
training committee will need to select assessors
for the white star assessment Sunday 28th November
- if there are major issues with that date please
select a new date and advise the league.
- There was also a decision made at the derby
watching session to continue with the three skate
sessions a week but only have structured training
with a designated trainer on Mondays and Thursdays
and have both of these sessions from 7pm to 9pm.
Sunday will become more of a free skate and will
stick with the current time of 5pm to 8pm. The
changes to the times will take place as of 1st
December.
Derby names
- If you get your white star this year then
the deadline to have your top three (and
list order of preference) derby names is Monday
29th November so please email these through to Jen
(j2garnett@xxxxxxxxx)
AND Lisa (cormorant_80@xxxxxxxxx).
They will be collated and sent to the master
roster keepers for processing, check out the rules
for selecting names here.
Membership
- Paying MSRDL dues is also something to think
about - especially if you have your white star
now. We leave it with the finance committee to set
a due date for payment and to think about how long
people should skate with the club for before they
have to pay dues. Money will go towards paying for
paint so we can have a more permanent track, club
membership in Skate Australia, website domain and
hosting fees, and other ongoing costs.
- If anyone is interested in joining Skate
Australia as an individual Skate Australia have
confirmed that if you pay the $50 fee now you will
have membership until December 2011. Visit the Skate
Australia website to find out about the
benefits of membership. Their office will be
closed over Christmas from 17th December so get in
quick! We also need 10 individuals to join skate
Australia before we can join as a league.
Logo
- The logo may undergo a redesign so if you
have any ideas of things to include or colour
scheme please let us know.
So, in summary - as members of the league you need
to:
1. Tell us which domain name you prefer and
whether you think there is a need to purchase
multiple domains and redirect from them to the
main site - let us know by Thursday 25th November
2. Lock the 28th November in your date as white
star assessment if you're taking it and let the
training committee know you're planning to take
the test
3. Start composing your bio for the website (due
5th December) and be prepared to have your "derby
girl" photo taken that day as well
4. Get your
top three Derby names to us by 29th November
5. Start saving to pay league fees.
6. Start thinking about how you think about how
you want to participate in the league and what
decisions need to get made on Sunday 5th December
- this even will need a couple of people to take
the reins for that to organise an agenda etc?
It's a busy time at the moment but this is your
league and think of it as the storm before the
summer lull. More to follow re. painting the track
soon....
Happy skating!
